Highncss, Princ e .- Charles Augustus of Schleswig Holstein Augnstenburg, elected Prince ; _Royal_of Sweden, of the Gottis and Vandals, being deceased without heirs m ale, and judging that it is our duty to prevent and to .avert the danger to the independence and tninquility of the kingdom, as well is to the rights and privileges of its nabitants, which might result from a va , :aney of the throne, and a consequent elealion ; exercising, at the same time, the power ‘thich is reserved to us by the 94th Article of the Constitution of the 6th of . June, 1809, of eleCting in such case a tie • dynasty ;—fot these reasons, and considering that the High and Mighty Prince and Lord Jean Baptiste Jule Berna dotte, Prince of Ponte Corvo, is endowed with virtues and qualities which give us the well-founded, hope of enjoying under the reign of that Prince a goad administration and prosperity, the fruits of. a legal, energetic, and beneficent Government : We, the States-general of Sweden, upon the proposition, of our august King now reigning, under condition that the said . Prince and Lord the Prince of Note Coma,. have before his aitivl on the Swedish ter - story eMoraced the Evangelical Lutheran religion, and signed the conditions drawn up by us, have voluntarily eleCted, by tree and unanimous suffrage, for ourselves 'and our slorcendants, the High and , Mighty Prince Jean ,Baptisie Jule Bernadotie, Prince .1 Poute Corvo, to the dignity of Prince Royal of Sweden, to reign in Sweden and its depetukucies after the decease of our present august Sovereign, (whose days 'nay the Almighty prolong !) to be crowned King of Sweden, and receive the oar h of fidelity ; i i shore, to govern the kingdom according to tie literal sense of the Constitution of the 6th' of June, 1809, and of the other laws in force, as well tundaruernal as . generpl and special, the whole cootormable to the answers which his ld ) ) al High ness shall ,;ice now, and atterwaids at his accession to the throne.

The frigates which made their appearance liar e been followed by nunaertms vessels of war destined to escort the •metchantmen. The Danish gun-boats, of which the GoVernment has stationed a great milliner in the Belt, and on the coast of Norway, often capture these latter vessels. When it is a calm, - their attacks ate never, fruitless; they , then engage the ships of-war with Much success, and become front day to day more expert at this kind of wartare. The English are aliaid of them, and avoid them with care. It is observed, that the English vessels never sail but with a' ery • layout able wind. If the wind is not quite favourable, those who direct their movements prefer casting anchor witere they are less *eXpos,:d to attack : they always keep united. , VIENNA, SEPT. is settled that the Em peror is to set out for Hungary, and, perhaps he will spend suuiC % , rks there. Time reiterated applica tions wilIC:1 have been made fOr the holding of an extraordinary Diet, and the solicitations which his Majesty hat. received on this subject, have, it is sale,' determined our august Sovereign to proceed to Pest, to deliberate with an assembly of Magnates of the fiat class, of some Prelates and Deputies of the principal cities, upon the means of procuring the • co-operatie,n of Hungary iu the cucution of the new plan of hitance. It .is pr,v,table that this assembly will dectt:e, Nether it be necessary to con vote an extraorditiary Diet, or sufficient to adopt merely provisional measures relative to the new pat . positions, to be alien% arils submitted to the sanc tion of t he• States. It is believed that this last course will tie adopted, and that the opening of the ordi nary Diet W ill take place as early as' We beginning of next January. SErr. 6,—The following has been pub lisbed here : His Majesty, b&ng desirous that all the orders which have for then oujeci the maintenance of the Continental system should continue to be executed with the• greatest t igour, has resolved, in order to 41Ceekrate the processes of confiscation commenced against all tliose who possess or import Colonial inercuanuize, to appoint a fribunal of Commerce, which shall pronounce exclusive. and definitively or: matters connected with this kind of confiscation. This Tribunal shall b it at Berlin, and shall take in formations at theditlerent places by means of Com- Intssioners appointed for that purpose. " His Majesty, by this measure, wishes to con , . ciliate tue inteicsts of .the State, with that justice which individuals have a right to expect."

The Roy - al Gendar merie, the Municipal Guard of Naples, and the Royal Corsican Regiment, are excepted from . this arrangement. COPENHAGEN, SEPT. 2.—The price 'of colonial produce, as might have been expected, has risen in consequence of the late order of his Alajeity with regard to their importa(inii. Tobacco hA also risen to an excessive price, from the cessation of our cornmetce. BERLIN, SEPT. 2, --Lady Bathurst, after long in quiries with regardtto - the fate of her husband; who, it is known, disappeared near Perleberg, appears to be convinced that Mr. Bathurst put a period to his own li(a. Even on getting out from Vienna, hel3- poured under a violent attack of the 'peen ; and let- . ters from him of a later d.ite, which have been . found, shew, - that this. mental deratigement was every day increasing.

VIENNA, SEPT. 5.-4ACCOrdilig . to letters Tereivf . d from some Greek commercial houses, the 'Grand\ Seignior has set out from Constantinople at the head of a laige,arny, the advanCed guard of. which . has already formed a junction with the army 'of the Grand Vizier. A great battle is expeiied, which probably will decide the issue, of this campaign. PANSCOWA, AUG. 17.—The Russians have.rnade themselves masters' of the city of Iludschock, but they haVe suffered muchfrom the garrison, which has retired into the citadel, and probably will not - surrender till the Grand Vizier has-,fought a battle. He' is still strongly entrenched with* his arm_ y before Salim's,. and every 'day receis es fresh reirillorce ments. NArmis, AUG. 28.—The new ship of the; line, called Capri of 74 guns, which was launched,onthe 214 I: lad. at Castella Mare, is to ready for sea at the ,end of "next month. By order of his Majes ty the King, the dock-yards of that place are to be enlarged, and two new ship of, the line are imme diately to •be laid on the stocks: On tlie . 2Bth Qf, last month an Imperial Decree was published in Paris, by which all ships which sail with a French license are prohibited to`take any passengers on board whO are going to England or coming from that country, without being furniShed with a pass port, personally signed by his Imperial Majesty.

SEPT. - 3.—We are assured that the Russian Le gation has received a fresh bulletin respeaing the success of the Russians at Schumla, but it appears that this success has been dearly purchased. It is said that the Russians left 3000 men upon the field of Wok, `and that they lost many officers. It iSannounCed,at . the same time, that the Russians, in order_ to repair the losses -which these blOody battles have cost them, expea, the beginning of this month, a reinforcement of 36,000 men, which will enable General KAMINSKY to advance. BAYONNE, SEPT. 4.--According to letters receiv ed from Portugal, it appears that the English are al ready making preparations for embarking, and do not spew any .disposition to maintain themselkes in tha: Kingdom. The Spanish Province of Lion is tranquil. The corps of troops united near Astorga has, 'it is said, pat itself in march kr Galicia. At present General BONNET is in Astoria. The Eng lish ships of war have left the,northern co:lst of and many French privateers are cruizing on it. The latter frequently sail beyond Cape Fini sterre, and take very rich prizes. A letter received this morning from Rotterdam, says, " BUONAPAIITE has declared his intention to wipe away- two thirds of the national debt of Hol land ; one third will 'then only remain on interest." THE THEATRE.—OO7eIIt-Garden, Theatre was opened again last night, with The English Fleet, and The Irishman iu London. In the latter piece, a Mr. BA:MERTON made his first appearance in the part of lifurioch Delany. He possesses a good figure, a strong brogue, and son e humour. lie was received with tivoar, except ,when he sung, as his vocal powers are very indifferent. The Thea tre was full, and good,order and attention prevailed during the peilortnances.. • Yesterday died at his house, Mill-bank, West minster, RICHARD HUGHES, Esq. who had been many years Treasurer of Covent-garden Theatre. He was a true specimen of the genuine British cha racter, open, manly, sincere, •and generous. The description of Kertt, in King Lear, was exactly ap plicable to him— he•.was, indeed," aroughhonesty;" bat though_ his manners were blunt, his heart was , susceptible'Ofevery kind impulse, and no man was ever More, disposed to render services within his sphere of a&ion.

Dr. lloberton having been called three tim es the u.tuil torin, and not appearing, Mr. Guiney moved that the recognizance• of the defendant and his bail should be entreated, adding, that be believ ed his Learned Friend Mr. Knapp had some obsei. vations to offer to the Unlit. Mr. KNAPP then addressed himself to the &melt I have the honour to appear tor the Gentlemen who we in the recognizance as Bail tor this man.. lain sure my Lord, when I mention their, natites, your Lordship will see the husioess in its priper-lignti , not that their respedability of character or situation would t!.eigh with your Lordship (or a moment, un less I were to prove that no blame whatever attaches to them. They are, my Lord, Dr. Denman, Lieut. Colonel Alcock, Mr. Croft, 'and Mr. Couhhard, a Gentleman of fortune in Hampshire. I will State their affidavits, and nothing further I am peisuaded will be 'required." Mr. Kpapp was proceeding to enter upon the 2ffida‘its, when the Recorder asked whether the other site had seen them ? - Mr. GURNEY immediately 'said—" My Dird, I have had an opportunity of perusing the affidavits, and on the part of the bail certainly every thing has been most candid and honourable. Their charac ters my Lord, are indeed far above theleach of sus.; picion ; and 1 am 'sure' they have done, and will do, every thing possible to bring this man to justice.-- They have,. in the most determined manner resisted eves) , attempt to induce them to swerve from their ,duty, and - the prosecutors can have no wish 'what-. ever but for what is corretl. They have been in duced to prosecute from the most proper motives, and therefoie I cannot think of. resisting this apple- cation. Mr. RECORDER—AII a Court of Justice can do . is to respite the Recognizance—l think it ought to bki respired. • Mr. KNAPP observed, that the prisoner's should not be, and the Recorder direeted that these of the bail should, be respited, and the prisoner's esireated.

THE DISAPPOINTED Tiffeves.—Early 'yesterday morning the house of a grocer, the corner of Henry street, oft the Hampstead Road, was broke into by taking up two stones in front, and forcing open the door of a cellar, About 4 o'clock, while the rubbers were busy packing up, some co, s passed the house 'on their way to be milked, one of which fell down the opening into the cellar. The thilves, terrified by the noise, made the best of their sisy to the ton of the house, and contrived to mike their escl,pe over the roofs of the adjoinicgauitdttigs, but were completely disappointed of bool. Four hours elapsrd before the cow, which was big with calf, could b. extricated; it was not, however, much hurt.
